Hello All,
Well, the new centerfire conversion breechblock from S&S came today .... WHAT A DIFFERENCE .... The S&S conversion breechblock dropped right in with absolutely no fitting or modification required ... I can't begin to tell you what a PIECE OF CRAP the one from Dixie was compared to this one. Primer strike is dead center. Now I'm ready to start enjoying to shoot my new piece of History.
I got my refund from Dixie, so I I'm pleased to say they are honest.
PS ... I used some Birchwood Casey "Aluminum Black" on the new shiny breechblock to give it a subtle aged look. I learned this long ago. Aluminum Black on steel makes the steel's bright finish, turn a dull grey.
